Glenmorangie Distilleries, Scotland | By Scotland Channel City finder Glenmorangie Distillery The phrase that comes to mind when one thinks of Glenmorangie is ‘The sixteen men of Tain.’ From the time the distillery was started in 1843, it has been managed and run by sixteen dedicated, hard working men who carry on the responsibility of producing this fine single malt. The tradition has passed down with every generation and even though the quantity of whisky produced is much more than it was in 1843, this whisky is still handcrafted by sixteen men of Tain . Glenmorangie stands on the shores of Dornoch Firth and was founded by William Matheson. Instead of buying new stills, with typical Scottish frugality, the distillery manager bought second hand gin stills. This set the tradition of using tall stills of hand beaten copper with arching swan necks. Glenmorangie now uses the tallest stills in Scotland at 16 feet and 10 and1/4 inches. William Matheson was followed by one of his sons, John, who took over the distilling duties.

The whisky was hugely popular and in 1887 a Limited Company was set up. The partners were the Maitland brothers and Duncan Cameron. The demand boomed and the whisky was soon exported to various countries all over the world. During the First World War the troops of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders were barracked at the distillery in the malt barns every summer. At the end of WWI the distillery passed out of local ownership. Glenmorangie was bought by their biggest customer MacDonald and Muir of Leith. A member of the MacDonald family is still closely associated with the Distillery. The contingent of sixteen men of Tain once again ran the distillery at full swing at the end of the war. The distillery has always used water from Tarlogie springs though the land belonged to the Laird. It is not possible to control it or prevent development around the springs so in 1980 the distillery bought 650 acres around the springs to safeguard the water quality. In the 1990s Glenmorangie was expanded to increase the number of stills in order to meet the world demand.

In 2002 two washbacks or fermentation vessels were added to increase production. Despite this Glenmorangie is managed by its sixteen men of Tain who work round the clock in quiet efficiency. They include the distillery manager and his assistant, mash men, still men and warehouse men. Glenmorangie produces a memorable 10 year old which is stored in used bourbon casks resulting in a balanced yet complex whisky. Glenmorangie Sherry Wood Finish goes through an initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks and is then transferred to sherry casks to get the perfect finish. The Port Wood Finish whisky matured in American oak casks has a deep rich texture. Other whiskies include the Madeira Finish and Burgundy Wood Finish among others.

Centuries later, battered by time and half destroyed, the original stone was relocated to the National Museum in Scotland for safe keeping. The sculptor Barry Grove was commissioned to recreate the stone by hand with a hammer and chisel. The highly skilled carvings on the Cadboll Stone would come to inspire our brand emblem.

Work began on the front face of this enormous slab of sandstone in 1998 and it would take Barry over fourteen months of painstaking labour before the sculpture, a testament to the skill of both the ancient Pictish and modern day Scottish people, could be re-installed on its original location, on land donated to the Historic Hilton Trust by The Glenmorangie Company. The purity of the Design Pursuing Perfection Embark on the journey to perfect whisky creation Watch the video Play Perfection in Mind We've always realised that pursuing perfection is rather a long journey. We just know it's a trip worth making. The Tallest Stills Our stills are the tallest in Scotland. They are 8 metres high (26ft 1/4 inches) with their long copper necks standing at 5.14 metres (16ft 10 1/4 inches), the same height as a fully grown adult giraffe! Which means that only the very lightest and purest vapours make it to the top, giving a smoother, more elegant whisky. We Only Use Our Casks Twice At Glenmorangie we select the finest oak casks in which to mature our whisky.

But that's not all, because we then only use each one twice for Original (whilst many others use their up to five or six times), ensuring that the maximum amount of flavour is always extracted during maturation, delivering a rounder, smoother taste. Pioneers In Extra Maturation Having pioneered extra maturation nearly 30 years ago, our whisky creators continue to travel the world in their search for exceptional casks. Casks that will provide additional, intriguing layers of flavours to the original character of Glenmorangie. The rarest and oldest member of the Glenmorangie family, this is a single malt of notable class and intensity. A Story About Wood Discover the art behind maturing our whiskies Watch the video Play The Art of Maturing Dr Bill Lumsden, an expert in his field, has spent over twenty years experimenting in order to perfect the different finishes that make up our extra-matured range. Extra maturation Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, Glenmorangie Lasanta and Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or will be first matured in American white oak casks for ten years before being extra matured in a hand-selected cask.

Extra Maturation In Port Pipes Ruban is Gaelic for Ruby, representing the finest Ruby Port casks from the 'Quintas' or wine estates of Portugal in which Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is extra matured. Extra Maturation In Sherry Butts 'Lasanta' is Gaelic for warmth and passion, a nod to the Spanish provenance of our Oloroso and PX Sherry butts in which we extra-mature Glenmorangie Lasanta. Extra Maturation In Sauternes Cask Both Gaelic and French for gold, 'Or' is so named because of the rich colour that develops once Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or has been extra matured in the finest Sauternes wine casks from France. The darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

The Men of Tain The brave and bold fellows on video Watch the Video Play Glenmorangie - The Men of Tain Meet the Men of Tain, the select craftsmen entrusted with the secrets of our distillery. Men whose dedication, skill and attention to detail proves that the Glenmorangie story is not just about whisky, it's also about people. A Dram For A Difficult Job There was a time when the Men of Tain would queue up for a daily dram of whisky with their lunch. Huddled together they would pass around a metal cup - blackened through constant use - and share a joke at the expense of one of the lads. This tradition, as well as the practice of handing out an extra dram for unpopular jobs like cleaning out the washback, is still fondly remembered by some of our more long serving men. Perhaps a little too fondly you might say. The Men of Tain past and present The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Local Treasures Local History The Cadboll Stone In the year 297AD, the Romans discovered a proud and free race ruling in the North-East of Scotland.

The Romans called them Picts - the painted people - because they decorated their bodies with inks and pigments. On their skins they depicted the sweeping lines of the landscape, the colours of the heavens and nature's Aurora Borealis: a dazzling display of red, green and violet that arcs and flickers in the night sky. These people cultivated the very same golden fields that surround our Highland home, fields where we today harvest the barley that becomes our malt. And it was here, in an open glade that borders the sea, that the Picts carved their story into the Cadboll Stone. An ancient treasure that, with its intricate, highly skilled carvings, has become the inspiration for our signet and the perfect symbol of our brand The Tarlogie Springs The Tarlogie Springs, Glenmorangie's own water source and most prized asset, is the product of rain that has been forcing its way through layers of limestone and sandstone for a hundred years. These natural minerals give it its 'hard' water qualities and provide Glenmorangie with a raw ingredient unique amongst Highland distilleries. Our ancient ancestors drank here, considering the pure, mineral-rich waters of the Springs to be sacred. We think they're pretty special too!

THE ORIGINAL Glenmorangie's signature expression - The Original - is quite simply, the most delicate and deliciously complex single malt whisky in the world.

A malt to be savoured in those quiet moments of reflection or when relaxing with friends who enjoy fine malt whisky SCOTLAND'S FAVOURITE MALT.

The exceptional quality of GLENMORANGIE is recognised around the world and most notably in Scotland where it is the number one malt whisky. 40% vol. Whiskies - Latest Whisky News - Glenmorangie Distillery - The Sixteen Men of Tain Latest News from the whisky industry - Glenmorangie Distillery The below information is from the distillery itself and the contents and text has not been modified. The Sixteen Men of Tain The Glenmorangie Distillery tirelessly and relentlessly produces our delicate, complex spirit; each stage of the production process is precise and perfect in its own right. At its core is a small group of men with immense skill and enviable knowledge. The craftsmen of Glenmorangie, the patient patrons of quality and excellence, they are the backbone of the Distillery, they are the legendary Sixteen Men of Tain. These sixteen individuals are the living embodiment of our founder’s vision, the unofficial guardians of our malt, who still, to this day, use the time-honoured, traditional skills that have passed from generation to generation.

Together they ensure Glenmorangie is made in the same, unhurried and uncompromised way it always has been since 1843. The Finest Wood At Glenmorangie we are particular. To safeguard the delicate complexity of our single malt, it is imperative that we use only the very best casks made from the finest wood. Our pioneering research into the effects of maturation spans more than a quarter of a century and we pride ourselves in being the leader of the Scotch whisky industry in this regard. Glenmorangie uses primarily white American Oak casks that have previously contained bourbon. The majority of our casks are first fill (that is, they have never before matured Scotch whisky), and an important proportion are made from air-dried, slow growth wood, to our specification. Know as our ‘designer casks’, the use of air-dried, slow growth wood holds many benefits. Because slow grown timber contains more of the relatively open porous growth that occurs in the Spring, giving it greater maturation potential than faster grown wood.

At the same time, air seasoning the wood reduces the astringency and bitterness derived from the tannins in the wood, and helps open up the internal structure increasing the ability to promote oxidisation. So, of the two ways to dry wood for cask manufacturing - kiln drying or air seasoning - kiln drying will enhance the quality of flavour in casks filled many times, while air seasoning allows the release of softer richer flavours. It is these qualities of air seasoning that we believe enhance Glenmorangie’s delicate, alluring character. For our extra matured products, we hand select port, sherry or wine casks from the leading vineyards and chateaux of Europe. These casks, chosen for their provenance and quality, complement the complex characteristics of Glenmorangie as they create expressions of exquisite taste and finesse. The Picts and The Glenmorangie Signet In ancient northern Scotland a small but highly skilled and sophisticated people, known as the Picts, ruled the land. Much legend surrounds the Picts, the ‘original’ people of Scotland, but the name means ‘the painted people’, and was probably a reference to the intricate designs they were said to tattoo on their bodies.

Although we know very little of their past, the Picts have given us a tantalising insight into their culture and the icons of their society. They were said to be a civilisation that was proud, strong and confident, and have left behind beautiful, highly decorative metal and stonework pieces that were almost exclusively precious, high-status symbols of the time - just like Glenmorangie is today. Close to the Glenmorangie Distillery stands a majestic eighth century standing stone. Intricately carved by the Picts - an ancient civilisation that ruled northern Scotland - the Cadboll Stone suggests a civilisation that was proud, strong and confident, much like Glenmorangie. The bottom panel of the stone perfectly represents the kaleidoscopic nature of our spirit and we have adopted this as our brand emblem - the Glenmorangie Signet. The infinite swirls, complicated design and three dimensional engraving, known as triscles, perfectly representing the multi-layered complexity and texture that makes Glenmorangie such a delicate and alluring spirit.

The original Cadboll Stone is housed in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, but an exact replica can be visited in its original place on the shores of the Cromarty Firth, adjacent to Glenmorangie House at Cadboll. The Cadboll Stone is a powerful icon for Glenmorangie, an emotive symbol of our Ross-shire roots, reflecting our pride in our heritage and our distinctive Highland culture. The Tallest, Most Elegant Stills In Scotland At the core of the Glenmorangie Distillery lies the Stillhouse; the living, beating heart of the distillery where simple raw ingredients are transformed into a spirit of rare finesse and subtlety. Measuring 16 feet and ten-and-a-quarter inches (5.14 m), the Glenmorangie stills are the tallest in Scotland, and are exact replicas of the second-hand gin stills our founder purchased in 1843. Beautiful and elegant, the eight majestic stills line the room, their height filling the cavernous space from floor to ceiling to create a spectacle of splendour and awe.

Unlike smaller, traditional onion stills, the long, elegant swan necks of the Glenmorangie stills ensure only the lightest and purest vapours ascend to the top and condense into spirit. With all harsh flavours removed from the distillate before maturation, this gives our spirit its deliciously balanced, delicate nature and its undeniably alluring complexity. Tarlogie Springs In the hills above the Glenmorangie Distillery, there is one of Glenmorangie’s most prized assets; a small natural spring bubbling with cool, crystal-clear water. Starting its journey as soft Scottish rain over 100 years ago, this pure water has slowly filtered through the landscape’s alternating layers of porous limestone and sandstone, gradually collecting the natural minerals that give it its ‘hard’ water quality. As the only Highland distillery to use hard water in its production, the Tarlogie Springs are at the heart of Glenmorangie, as this unique, mineral-rich water undoubtedly contributes to the deliciously fresh and delicate character of our spirit.

So important are the Tarlogie Springs to Glenmorangie that in 1989, the Company thought to safeguard their purity, purchasing 650 acres of surrounding woodland to protect its future, and ensure that Glenmorangie would always retain its unique, distinctive character. Glenmorangie House In the heart of the Scottish Highlands lies Glenmorangie House, a secluded retreat where the welcome is warm, the atmosphere relaxed, and time is savoured almost as much as a glass of Glenmorangie itself. This is a Highland home on an intimate scale. Set in tranquil surroundings overlooking the unspoilt shores of the Cromarty Firth, this is the perfect haven from which to visit Glenmorangie’s timeless distillery or explore the lands of our native Ross-shire.

 north of Scotland, in the Royal Burgh of Tain, Ross-shire Although originally a brewery, the Glenmorangie distillery has been operating as a whisky distillery since 1843 The distillery uses Scottish grown barley that is lightly peated during malting, and water from its Tarlogie Springs - the natural spring that is owned by the distillery together with 650 surrounding acres to protect its purity The water of the Tarlogie Springs has filtered for nearly a century through lime and sandstone, and is unusually hard and rich in minerals The eight elegant Glenmorangie swan-neck stills are the tallest in Scotland, allowing only the lightest and purest of vapours to ascend and condense - giving Glenmorangie its distinctive complexity and layered flavour The Glenmorangie distillery employs sixteen skilled craftsmen - the ‘Sixteen Men of Tain’.

Their expertise, craft, and traditional values have been passed down the generations. Glenmorangie continues to be patiently and lovingly produced by sixteen skilled craftsmen today The distillery is renowned as a pioneer in its field uniting tradition with innovation. It is the master of maturation and is the original pioneer of ‘wood finishes’, developing the process and introducing Port Wood Finish in 1994, followed by the Wood Finish Range in 1996 Glenmorangie uses primarily ex-bourbon casks made from the finest, hand-selected American oak to impart more flavour. It has also pioneered the use of bespoke casks made from slow-growth, air-dried oak from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri Our casks rest in low stone-built buildings with earthen floors, permeated by fresh sea-air, a gentle local climate ensuring a steady path to full maturity The Glenmorangie Company Fifty years after the first stills were installed at the Glenmorangie distillery in 1843, The Glenmorangie Company was officially established and registered (as Macdonald and Muir Ltd) by Roderick Macdonald and Alexander Muir in 1893 as a wine and spirits company.

Today, the company is one of the most famous and well-respected Scotch whisky distillers and marketers of premium Scotch whisky brands worldwide. The Company is an intriguing mixture of the past and the future; producing its range of malt whiskies using traditional methods and, at the same time, through expert marketing and product innovation, delivering new experiences to today’s consumers. Headquartered in Edinburgh, the company produces three main single malt brands – Glenmorangie Single Highland malt whisky, Glen Moray Speyside single malt whisky and Ardbeg single Islay malt – in addition to a range of other whiskies. All of the whiskies are distinctive and have regional characteristics. The Glenmorangie brand is a real success story in the world of malt whisky. It has the tallest stills in Scotland, which give the single malt its highly complex and distinctive flavour. Glenmorangie was also the first distiller to realise the importance of wood in the maturation process and in the 1990s, it pioneered ‘wood finishing’ to add diverse and intriguing characteristics to the much-loved Glenmorangie taste. For decades it has been the favourite single malt in Scotland, the home of Scotch whisky.

Despite distributing to over 120 markets world-wide, the distillery still remains one of the smallest in the Highlands and employs just sixteen craftsmen - "The Sixteen Men of Tain" - who have become synonymous with the Glenmorangie brand all over the world. In 2004, The Glenmorangie Company acquired The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, allowing improved access to the whisky enthusiast and the potential to accelerate the development of this business. The acquisition is compatible with Glenmorangie’s vision of being a leading player in the Scotch malt whisky sector. In 2005, The Glenmorangie Company was acquired by LVMH - Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton – the world’s leading luxury brands group.

Tasting Masterclass Dr William (Bill) Lumsden In his role as Head of Distilling & Whisky Creation, Dr Lumsden oversees the creation of the entire Glenmorangie range. He is regarded as a pioneer in the malt whisky industry, touring the world in search of the best oak casks in which our whiskies will be given unique characteristics. He is also the only person to have been honoured three times with The Malt Advocate 'Industry Leader of the Year' Award.

The Serves Dr Bill Lumsden would recommend enjoying Glenmorangie in any of the following ways. Neat To try our whisky neat is to experience it in its purest form, where the complexity of the flavours and aromas is at its fullest intensity. With Water A little water will soften the alcohol, causing a change in the texture and bouquet of the whisky, and revealing further layers of aromas and complexity. Over Ice Adding two or three large rocks of ice to your whisky will close down the top notes that were released with water accentuating instead the base flavours from the oak barrel. The Glass Whisky glass The glass in which you serve our whisky will have an effect on the flavour. However we believe that Glenmorangie should be enjoyed in whichever way you think best, and that includes your favourite glass. But, if you were to ask Dr Bill Lumsden for his personal opinion, he would recommend a simple, yet good quality tumbler to really allow the aromas to be released before and after adding water.
